The World This Week
Apr 07 – Apr 12, 2014

Equity View:
The markets continue with an upward trend. There was a strong rally backed by banks. We had key
macro economic data points coming in with the CAD numbers for the month of March around $ 10
million which was the worst number in the last six months, although the overall current account deficit
for the full year has been contained. There is some concern about the exports growth in the last few
months and the government did sound that the gold import curbs are going to stay for some more time
considering the fact that export growth has been muted. Our view is that we do not expect a very
significant appreciation of the rupee against the dollar because of two reasons :
1. Due to softness of export growth
2. We will see master intervention by RBI should rupee appreciate beyond 58 - 59 levels which is
going to be up for various export oriented companies like pharma and IT.
We have the IT sector coming up with the results starting tomorrow. On an average we expect the
industry to deliver around 3% q-o-q revenue growth. The growth numbers for Infosys would be quite
muted although we are expecting q-o-q growth to be around 0.4-0.5%. We expect the margins to stay
put at the current levels. The stocks of Infosys & TCS have already corrected largely in anticipation of
weak results and we would use this correction in IT stocks as a buying opportunity from our long term
buy position of the IT sector.
In terms of other macroeconomic numbers we had IIP numbers for the month of February coming in
again with a negative slide. There is no sign as yet of any revival in the manufacturing space or in the
industrial activity. The capital goods numbers showed a significant deceleration of around 15% on a y-o-y
basis. There is no sign that the whole infrastructure sector is beginning to revive. We believe that it will
be around another 2-3 months before we see any significant reforms in the IIP numbers. These numbers
are very critical as it will give us an indication whether the infrastructure cycle is showing any sign of
revival. Till that point of time we will continue to maintain our cautious view on the infrastructure and
capital goods stocks. We believe that one should buy only quality stocks in this rally because it is not
backed by fundamentals specifically as far as the infrastructure and real estate stocks are concerned. As
far as the broader markets are concerned, we continue to maintain bullish stance for the rest of the year.
We have a year end target of 24800 on Sensex and we believe that this rally will continue in the months
to come.
